A music box is a mechanical musical instrument that produces sounds by the use of a set of pins or metal discs on a revolving cylinder or disc, which pluck the tuned teeth (or lamellae) of a metal comb. The vibration produced by the teeth produces musical notes. Our musical gift box comes in various shapes and sizes, ranging from small, handheld versions to larger, ornate boxes or even novelty designs. They are known for their nostalgic and charming melodies, often associated with classic tunes or lullabies.
Music boxes work through a mechanical process. Turning a winding key sets a cylinder or disc in motion. The pins or bumps on the cylinder or disc pluck the tuned teeth of a metal comb, producing musical notes.
The tunes in a music box are determined by the arrangement of pins or bumps on the cylinder or disc. Some musical gift boxes have interchangeable cylinders or discs, allowing users to change the tunes.
